The setting: Gasol grabbed a missed shot by Kobe Bryant and made a layup with 0.5 of a second left to give the Lakers a 95-94 victory at Oklahoma City. The significance: The Lakers clinched the series and avoided a Game 7 against a Thunder team that gave them all sorts of problems with its athleticism and quickness. Gasol struggled for much of Game 6, scoring only nine points on four-for-11 shooting. But his rebound off Bryants miss was his 18th of the game.
